Ford Repair: 98 F150 upper control arm, upper control arm, ford f150


Question
Got a problem, I think. Replaced my upper control arms on my 1998 Ford F150, XLT, extra cab. Noticed when I was finally putting on the new passenger side control arm, the two washers from the two long bolts holding it to the frame were slightly different. Cant remember how they came off; I just put them back on. To think about it, would this be a problem? Just got it alligned a few months ago and noticed tire ware on that same side ware already. Can you help me know what goes where. Please help.

Answer
Hello John, Just because the washers are slightly different are not going to be a issue. A vehicle can go out of alignment with a few good potholes. Re check your steering and suspension parts to make sure nothing is faulty. Make sure to check your shocks also. All I can do is make a suggestion without looking at it visually, that is the best way for a skilled person to tell you what is occuring with any vehicle concern. Thanks Tony
